Prospective students visit University Park during Spend a Summer Day 2007

Spend a Summer Day at Penn State is the Admission Office's largest recruitment effort. Penn State coordinates bus transportation for students and their families from Baltimore, Harrisburg, New Jersey, New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Washington D.C.

A quick coffee and a muffin or bagel for breakfast fueled prospective students and parents for Spend a Summer Day. The HUB-Robeson Center's Alumni Hall was the home base for those visiting during the open house.
